Choosing who to vote for... (LONG)

Alberet,

Let me expand further on your comments;

"The US is indeed the leading power of the world, but have you ever heard of 'abuse of power'? Eventually, the Chinese will become the world economic power (and maybe military power as well) because the Americans are seen as greedy and arrogant."

Gee, I never hear these comments when we are pouring millions into their country after a natural disaster or to shore up their economy or defend them against an aggressive neighbor!
Any foreigner who thinks we are greedy and arrogant is an ungrateful, envious ass. We are the most generous people in the world, who have shared more with others than all other countries combined.

Let's see if you have the stones to answer a few simple questions;
Where were you born?
If you are foreign born, how long have you been in the US?
Have you served in our military or in any capacity while a guest here?
How have you contributed to the US's growth?

My family has served the US in every war dating back to the war of 1812
I have two senators and one congressman in my family tree
As Irish, we overcame vast distrimination upon our arrival, but built a useful place in society
I am currently active in a number of civic associations and have involved my son as well.
Families like mine built this country
If you can't point to similar achievements, then you are one of the thousands who are here to merely exploit this country.
And you still have the gall to bad mouth it?
I wonder how similar comments directed at your homeland would be received back in your native land?
